What she does to survive Dec. 17, 2012

 


They don’t have schools for this,

Or how-to manuals

To kiss and be kissed,

To eat the forbidden fruit

That dangles before you,

Why did God plant such a tree

In our midst and fail to expect

us not to partake of it,

an old woman on that cruise

devouring “brothers and sisters”

teaching her how to do the same,

to avail her of that talent

God in his infinite wisdom

Provided her with,

Yet could not have anticipated

How it might get used

We are all indifferent to it

Until we need it to survive,

Or even thrive,

Making appointments

For every day of the week

As if there is not enough time

To use up what she’s neglected

Until then,

Making “them” pay for what they want

Or need, their lust paving the way

For her getting what she needs,

Only what she wants isn’t what they want,

All she does she does to survive.
